Course summary

Studying economics provides you with a greater understanding of the world around you. It teaches you how the economy functions, how people make decisions, why an economic crisis occurs and what the different solutions are. Economics at Essex is not only about stocks, shares and financial markets it is concerned with the material wellbeing of human societies. Moreover, Economics isn't optional to study right now: it's vital to our future well-being in a post COVID-19 global society. The skills you learn at Essex will be in high demand from employers in the coming years to tackle the post-pandemic world. At Essex we push the frontiers of accepted wisdom, critically examining the decisions of individuals, the strategies of firms, and the policies of governments to understand and challenge the standard paradigms of economics. On this course, you build a thorough understanding of the key areas of economics from first-year undergraduate to post-graduate level. Throughout the course you will study modern macroeconomics and microeconomics with applications to policy, as well as econometric methods and the use of data.
